Intermodal Operations
This page is a WIP. Eventually it will give the reader some idea of how intermodal operations work in FYM, the differences between the game and real life (and the FYM imposed restrictions, and provide a listing of different railroads IM facilities and what kind of traffic they support. There will be specific pages detailing each railroads particular operations when it comes to intermodal.
The Railroads
Specific information about each railroad can be found at the links before.
Joint Use Facilities
Around North America, there are several intermodal facilities (mostly located in ports) that are served by more than one railroad. Some of these terminals are being converted to help the YM better determine what should be loaded for each individual railroad. Oakland BNSF and Oakland UP are good examples of the same yard that has been separated. There are others in the pipeline for this as well. In the meantime, it is incumbent on the individual yard's YM to make sure they are loading properly for the given railroad. Listed below are all of the Joint Facilities in FYM and their corresponding railroads:
